existing methods for implementing AI in healthcare:
Many AI models show strong performance in narrow academic datasets or benchmarks, but generalization is
difficult. the complexity and variability of real clinical conditions. More testing on heterogeneous real-world
data is needed. The accuracy of AI driven radiology depends on the quality and diversity of the training data.
NLP models require large, diverse datasets to train on, and the data must be high-quality and appropriate.
However, data sets can be limited by research area or data type.
There are no frameworks or guidelines in place to ensure that NLP tools are working as intended. Lack of
interpretability and transparency has been identified as one the main barriers to implementation of AI in
clinical practice. AI-based algorithms can be superhuman in their ability to interpret complex data. However,
their power and complexity can also result in spurious or even unethical and discriminatory conclusions
when applied to human health data. Without careful consideration of the methods and biases embedded in a
trained AI system, the practical utility of these systems in clinical diagnostics is limited.
 Generalizability: Many AI models show strong performance in narrow academic datasets or
benchmarks, but generalization is difficult. the complexity and variability of real clinical
conditions. More testing on heterogeneous real-world data is needed.

adoption. Developing interpretable models and explanatory methods is critical.
 Model Validation: Many studies highlight the lack of standardized methods for clinical
validation of AI systems prior to deployment, which increases the potential for undetected
defects or failures.
 Customization: Most models use a one-size-fits-all approach, while medical diagnosis and
treatment planning require customization. Advancing personalized and precision medicine with
artificial intelligence is an open challenge.
 Integration into Workflows: There is a lack of substantial research to quantify the effects and
ease of integration into existing clinical workflows in a minimally disruptive manner. More
applied research is needed.

performance GPUs are required to train and maintain them, which are very expensive and of
limited availability. This presents obstacles for many healthcare systems with limited resources.
Building efficient models and optimizing hardware requirements is an open challenge.
 Lack of training recipes: There are no clear standard recipes for training robust and reliable
models that encode best practices for regularization, scaling, etc. This leads to the proliferation
of fragile designs that fail unexpectedly. Establishing strict training protocols and benchmarks is
important.
 Prompt Engineering: Appropriate prompts and examples are critical to encoding intended
behavior, but best practices remain unclear. Bad signals increase the likelihood of unintended
action. The development of rapid design techniques is crucial to minimize these risks.
